How Observability Relates to DevOps, SRE, & Cloud Native

Summary:

Welcome to The Authors’ Cut Series
In this session, we unpack how observability fits into the landscape of other modern practices, such as DevOps, SRE (Site Reliability Engineering), and cloud native movements. This session also addresses example technologies used to build cloud native apps, such as containers, service meshes, microservices, and immutable infrastructure. In addition, we also cover leading-edge practices such as chaos engineering, feature flagging, and other forms of progressive delivery.

Bonus! Our SRE, Fred Hebert, shares how observability shapes Honeycomb’s practices. If you’re interested in the organizational and workflow patterns of the most successful engineering teams, this is a great session for you.

About This Series
